Tuning:
I haven´t been able to find this tab anywhere on the internet.
I guess nobody is stupid (or autistic) enough to try and make it out note for note
(especially the ending). But here it is anyway :-)
The ending is really only the same two chords, but the bass is heavily
syncopated and needs some rehearsing!
Enjoy!

SUNNY SKIES (James Taylor, 1970)
Capo 3rd fret for original key of C
Bass: E, F#, A Amaj7 xx212x / Bass: E, F#, B E7sus4 xx020x
Amaj7 Sunny skies sleeps in the E7sus4 morning.
He Amaj7 doesn't know when to E7sus4 rise.
He Amaj7 closes his weary E7sus4 eyes upon
the Amaj7 day, look at him E7sus4 yawning,
Amaj7 throwing his E7sus4 morning hours
Amaj7 away He knows how to E7sus4 ease down
Amaj7 slowly E7sus4 Everything is fine in the Amaj7 end
And you will be E7sus4 pleased to
Amaj7 know that E7sus4 Sunny Skies hasn't a friend.
Amaj7 Sunny skies weeps in the E7sus4 ev'nin'.
It Amaj7 doesn't much matter E7sus4 why
I Amaj7 guess he just has to E7sus4 cry from time to
Amaj7 time Everyone's E7sus4 leavin'
Amaj7 and Sunny skies E7sus4 has to stay
Amaj7 behind Still he knows how to E7sus4 ease down
Amaj7 slowly E7sus4 Everything is fine in the
Amaj7 end. And you will be E7sus4 pleased to
Amaj7 know that E7sus4 Sunny Skies hasn't a friend.
Amaj7 Sunny skies sleeps in the E7sus4 morning.
He Amaj7 doesn't know when to E7sus4 rise
He Amaj7 closes his weary E7sus4 eyes upon the
Amaj7 day and E7sus4 throws it all Amaj7 (tab) away.

1) Looking at the snow and trees that grow outside my win-dow.
2) Looking at the things that pass me by.
3) Wondering if where I've been is worth the things I've been through?
